J. A. PRICE, OF SGIANTON, PENNSYLVANIA.

Letters .Patent No. 99,590, dated February 8, 1870.

BASE-BURNING Mstl'ovu.

The VSchedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part'o!- the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J. A. PRICE, of Scranton, in the county of Luzerne, in the State of Pennsylvania,

have invented a new and useful Improvement in Base= stove-top, leading' to the usual round feed-orifice,

which, together with the chute, is opened when the cover and vizor are swung aside.

` 'lo enable those skilled in the art to make and use my invention, I now proceedv todescribe its construction and operation.

Similar letters in the drawings refer to like parts. A is the stove-top, having the chute a inA one slide and the feed-orifice a', to which the chut-e leads, at its centre.

B is the cover, pivoted above the feed-orifice in the ordinary manner, and having the vzor b cast to one side.

The vizor forms a-oomplete cover to the chute, 'when in place.

Iam aware that a chute in the 'top of a base-burning stove is no novelty, but, tothe best of my knowledge, such chutes have always heretofore been guarded with a slide, and used with a stationary central cover.

So far as I am aware, no one before une has so combined a central cover with a chute-cover, that both' may be swung aside together, and thus expose a largelyincreased surface for the introduction of coal.

What I claim, as my invention, is-

1. The central cover B, combined with the Ivizor b, as and for the purpose described.

2. The cover B, vizor b, chute a, and orce a', all (ombined and arranged as and for the object specined.
